"I — love — you."
Liu Lei moved closer to Song Zihan's lips, using a soft voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You didn't lie to me?"
Song Zihan didn't quite believe her. She had asked him about it before, but he hadn't wanted to say it. Now that she said it again, she really didn't believe it. If those two words were true, then why didn't he look for her afterwards?
"No, I can swear to God that I thought I would have died that day. At that time, the biggest regret in my mind was that I didn't confess to you, but after what I said, you acted like you didn't hear it."
Liu Lei had intentionally pushed the blame onto Song Zihan, purposely causing her to feel guilty.
"How could you hear such a loud noise from the elevator? Besides, who told you to be so stubborn afterwards?"
Song Zi's cold face was a bit red. If Liu Lei had said that when she asked, then they wouldn't have wasted these five years.
"It's all my fault. I'm a man, so I should be a bit more generous. Although I'm five years late, I still have some time. I'll see if you're willing to forgive me."
Liu Lei's finger lightly scraped Song Zihan's cheek, waiting for her reply.
"Then, let me test you again …"
"Wife, we've already wasted five years of time. Please consider the test as you see fit."
Liu Lei was afraid that Song Zihan would say that it would take another five years, so he hurriedly said this.
"One month, five months. If you perform well in these five months, I'll agree to your proposal. This ring …"
"I can't take the ring off."
When Liu Lei saw Song Zihan turn around to face the ring, he grabbed her hand and stopped her.
"That's fine, but I have a condition. You can't stay here for the next five months."
Song Zihan looked at Liu Lei's expression and laughed.
The test these five months is actually nothing, I just want to see if he's sincere or not, and see if he's willing to go out and hang around.
If he successfully passed these five months of tests, it wouldn't be too late for her to consider marrying him, and then getting married.
"Ah, my wife, are you really willing? "It's been five years. Are you sure you still need another five months?"
Liu Lei's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although they had endured five years, if the two weren't together, they could still hold on. Now that they were reconciled and together every day, but couldn't sleep in the same bed, that would be torture.
"If you think you can't pass, you can leave now. I have no objections."
Song Zihan's face finally broke into a smile, and he even made a show of taking the ring.
"Fine, fine. Five months is five months. Then can I add one more? I won't be living here. But normally, kiss me and hug me. Can you relax a little?"
Liu Lei said with a bitter face.
Song Zihan looked at Liu Lei, walked around him and said with a smile.
"That will depend on your performance. If you perform well, then of course you can relax."
"Wife, you're so nice. Then tonight …"
"Yes, but you have to sleep on the couch."
Song Zihan said as he pushed Liu Lei to the door and locked it from the inside.
He knew that there was no hope for tonight, but he had already achieved his desired goal and was satisfied.
Five months wasn't a long or short period of time, but if something unexpected happened, then it would be very long.
After Liu Lei and Song Zihan had gotten back on good terms, the two of them ran back and forth between the two companies diligently, as if they had returned to five years ago.
Time passed quickly, but at this moment, a series of accidents happened in the Song Family.
Three months after their agreement, Song Laidi, the third son of the Song Family died for no reason. Although the police took over, they couldn't find the culprit.
Liu Lei was a bit depressed. Originally, he was going to get married, but because of this matter, the marriage date for the next five months was probably going to be extended.
After dealing with Song Laidi's funeral, Liu Lei wanted to go to the main office. When he was at the airport, he seemed to have seen Zhuo WeiTing.
However, he was about to board the plane again. He called Zhuo WeiTing and told him to hold Zi Yan back, but seeing that she was boarding, he had no choice but to use an extreme method.
He lied and reported that some dangerous personnel had boarded the plane with dangerous goods. With this delay, Zhuo WeiTing had finally arrived, but Liu Lei had sent him to prison.
Liu Lei was sentenced to six months in prison for lying and delaying his flight.
But thankfully, he helped his brother. When Zhuo WeiTing went to visit the prison, Liu Lei was so depressed that he wanted to die. The promise of dragging it out for five months became a year.
Fortunately, Song Zihan came to visit often during this period of time, which could be considered as a form of comfort. Furthermore, it would also be better to avoid getting entangled with others.
Six months was a hard time, longer than the past five years, but there was always a hope. Being able to get married as soon as they got out of jail, and Zi Han didn't mind, he was very happy.
However, after getting married, he was also fired. For others, this might be the unluckiest thing to do, but for Liu Lei, it was a loss. He originally wanted to resign, but he couldn't, and now was perfect.
After completing the resigning procedures, Zhuo Weiting asked him to come over and help, while he wanted to help find his wife. All of a sudden, he was very busy.
The wedding date was set, but looking at his good brother's bitter face every day, his good mood was driven away. Luckily, on Valentine's Day, when he sent Song Zihan back home, he had some unexpected gains.
Over the past year, Liu Lei had gotten used to it and never mentioned living together again. However, that night, Song Zihan unexpectedly asked him to go upstairs.
"Wife, are you sure you want me to stay here tonight?"
Liu Lei was overjoyed and couldn't believe his ears.
"Come up first."
Song Zihan glared at him and dragged him into the elevator. Liu Lei's hands couldn't help but tremble. It looked like he could think of something tonight and sleep with his wife in his arms.
With this thought in mind, he became bold. In the elevator, he held Song Zihan in his arms, while Song Zihan pointed at the security monitor with a flushed face.
"Wife, I've already made an appointment. We'll go take pictures of the wedding dress the day after tomorrow. You have to put aside your company's matters."
Liu Lei understood. Although he did not take a step forward, he was reluctant to let go and could only press his chin against Song Zihan's forehead and ask gently.
"Well, have you decided on the guest list? I might need one or two people. "
Song Zihan nodded his head as he asked. This wedding was something he was looking forward to, because things at home had already been delayed, and Liu Lei had suffered a lot over the past year. If he dragged it out again, he would feel sorry for him.
"No problem, but my wife, best man might need to be changed." No problem, but my wife, my best man might need to be changed.
Liu Lei explained to Song Zihan that he had agreed to have Zhuo Weiting as his best man, but now, he wasn't even going to participate in the wedding banquet.
"Actually, I know where Yan'er is. Moreover, she might come to our wedding."
Song Zihan didn't say anything. Liu Lei thought that she was angry, and was thinking about how to make his wife happy, but Song Zihan told him a secret that was hidden in his heart.
"Wife, what did you say? Do you know where your sister is? "
Liu Lei was astonished, but at the same time, he felt a bit unhappy. These years, the people Zhuo WeiTing had been searching for Zhuo Ziyan for had all lost some weight, but she knew that it was a bit too much not to reveal anything.
"Look at this in London first. If there's no evening, she should come to our wedding. If Zhuo Weiting wants it, this is a good opportunity."
Song Zihan opened the email his sister sent him one year ago and showed it to Liu Lei.
"So that's how it is. How could she have so much money?"
After Liu Lei saw this, he finally calmed down. All along, he had thought that the person who helped Song Zihan was a man, but now he knew that it was a woman who had a huge burden in her heart.
It was definitely not a good thing that she could make so much money in six years of time. Moreover, he remembered that Zhuo Weitang was still in middle school at the time. It really made people suspicious.
"I don't know, I didn't ask. She just said she was doing fine. That's enough."
Song Zi was so cold that he didn't think as much as Liu Lei. For her, it was fine as long as her little sister was well. As for the relationship, she was still young, so there was no need to worry.
Moreover, from what happened six years ago to now, he still had some enmity towards Zhuo WeiTing. If it wasn't for him not trusting his sister, so many things wouldn't have happened.
"I'll call A-Ting first and see what he says."
Liu Lei took out his phone and hurriedly gave it to Zhuo WeiTing. With such a big matter, he was afraid that Zhuo WeiTing would be overjoyed.
After communicating with Zhuo Weitang, they immediately made a plan. The wedding ceremony would continue as usual, but Zhuo Weitang, the best man, would appear. Furthermore, he needed Song Zihan to arrange a meeting with Zi Yan alone.
Song Zihan was a little hesitant. She understood her little sister's personality very well. If she couldn't handle this matter well, it was very likely that she wouldn't even recognize him.
She had already lost a sister, she didn't want to lose another sister. Love was gone, she could look for another, but the sister could not find it back.
However, Liu Lei didn't let her hesitate. He told her about Zhuo Weitang's painstaking efforts in finding a wife in the past five years, how he wanted to slim down for his wife, and how he loved her until Song Zihan nodded his head.
However, Liu Lei didn't give her the chance to go back on her word. On the day before the wedding, Song Zihan's eyelids were constantly twitching in the morning, she had received a message from Zi Yan that she would be coming to attend the wedding.
"Liu Lei, what do we do?" "If Yan'er finds out that I designed her, she will break off all relations with me."
Song Zi said coldly.
"That won't happen. She and A-Ting are a match made in heaven. Even if she ignores you for the time being, once they make up, she'll definitely be grateful to you."
Liu Lei comforted Song Zihan.
However, no matter how much he tried to comfort her, it was useless. According to the rules, the night before their marriage, a bride and groom couldn't meet, while the one accompanying Liu Lei was Zhuo WeiTing.
"Bro, this time you better not throw my marriage into the mix. Last time, I've already been in there for half a year, if something happens this time, my wife will be gone."
On the day of the wedding, when they were getting married, Liu Lei repeatedly reminded Zhuo WeiTing.
"Are you serious? You fell in love with Song Zi? "
Although Liu Lei kept on saying that he wanted to get married, his rich history made his good brother, Zhuo WeiTing, not really believe him. What's more, if a person really got married, then wouldn't that person just keep talking about it all the time?
"How should I put it, people have to get married, and Zi Han is a good person, rational and calm, better than just marrying a woman."
Liu Lei didn't seem to want others to admit that he was in love with Song Zihan. He just felt that when the time came to marry, he would find a more pleasing person to marry.
"You're married today, so as a brother, I shouldn't pour cold water on you. However, I still have to remind you as a New Year's person that a woman must be loved with all her heart. If you can't take out your heart, then it would be better to just take advantage of it as soon as possible …"
